[ltp] Several Problems on Gentoo with T43

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

Hi,

sorry i didn?t know, that the mail was sent, it wasn?t finished yet. 
Otherwise you would have more informations from me ;-)

I managed to install both alsa and ati, seemed to be some problems with 
compiling the kernel. Recompiling it made me able to emerge the 
necessary packages.

I got several problems with my wireless configuration.
I can?t connect while booting (net.eth0 no accesspoint found...) but 
when i manually restart the init-Skript in Console he does find the 
correct AP.
After 10minutes i got disconnected without errormessages and must 
restart the script again.
I use the ipw2200 drivers and firmware from testing-portage (same 
problem with stable portage). I can?t find a driver for 2915 directly, 
what do you mean with 2915? Let me tell you some further problems.

1.) I can not emerge ibm-acpi.Following errormessages:

Entering directoy `usr/src/linu-2.6.15-gentoo-r7`
WARNING:: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.15-r7/Module.symvers 
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

!!!Unable to make KDIR=/usr/src/linux default.

Is there a different way to get it started with experimental=1? Can i 
load the modules that are already in the kernel with a different 
parameter while booting?

I appreciate that, i am not a total beginner but still only following 
tutorials :-) Can you give me some hints, what packages/scripts/etc are 
useful for my TP? Zitat von Matt Graham <danceswithcrows@usa.net>:
